What people say

"I was expecting more. Idea is great. Neighborhood around is a hell in earth (you don’t feel safe). Inside looks amazing- idea is great - but maintenance of kids devices to play is not great. Roughly 30% of devices are not maintained (kids know how to break the toys!). Price is average. If you wish to spend time with your kids it’s good choice, not perfect but sufficient. I’m disappointed due to potential - it has great possibilities to have amazing place - but dirt, dust and maintenance of most of the stuff is poor. It has space for improvement."
